What is Blanket of stars about?

As night settles over the hill, Little Bird, Little Bunny and Little Fox prepare for sleep. The busy world grows quiet as the animals snuggle down beneath a twinkling blanket of stars. Gentle rhymes and soothing lullabies guide them into dreamland, while an accompanying collection of music adds to the bedtime atmosphere. The book also includes bonus songs and poems by Christina Rossetti, Thomas Dekker and Robert Louis Stevenson, creating a calm, comforting journey towards sleep.
